    They’ve got special pots for them that work very well! Also, keep an eye out for Aphids - may wanna get some Neem oil now

    Put it in a window. Let it get real dry before you water it and never let the water touch the leaves.

    I use half African violets potting soil and half perlite. Have them in a window water when Planta tells me too

      Was looking for this Info. When looking online it says 1:1:1 vermiculite, perlite, & moss(or noir). I was wondering if I could do potting mix(miracle grow) instead of vermiculite bc lord knows I don’t need to buy another PLANT THING right now😂🤦🏻‍♀️
